This is my situation, i've had my arches rolled, taken liners out and arch screws and i still cant drive the car because of the rubbing...one panel beater told me that if he angle grinds the arch the standard plastic arches wont fit back on, is this true? Does anyone know of other arches that would fit on after the panel has been trimmed and also fit in/not look too stupid with a standard kit? Cheeers

60mm at the back should be alright, maybe small arch work would have to be carried out,
60mm at the front abit more arch work would have to be carried out like you have done, but if its more than 60mm at the front then thats why your having trouble
